  1. Hello, thanks for the article. From your experience do you think the new version of Gutenberg Addons – Spectra is better for speed than Kadence Blocks ?

    Best regards

    • Honestly, Didn’t tried personlly but recently got a client for Core Web Vital Optimization and He was using both Kadence Blocks And UAG (Spectra). The pages created with Spectra were having high DOM Size and I do not know why. From performence point of view both will be approx same, it depends on how much you optimize your Frontend.
